| Scottish Bovine Rescued from Ladder |
| 2011-08-17 |
Must resist making Scot joke. It certainly is a less stupid and tragic story than the one about the cow that fell off an Alp in Austria and landed on a car a few years ago.
The Scottish SPCA has rescued a cow in South Ayrshire which got its head stuck in a ladder.
Scottish SPCA Inspector Kerry Kirkpatrick said: "When the job came through my first thought was, this is a wind up, but I arrived at the field to find the cow (Belgian Blue bullock) looking confused but surprisingly calm despite having his head wedged tightly in between the rungs of the ladder. They managed to gently pull the ladder off the cow's head and return it to the herd unharmed.
Unharmed for now, but perhaps heading for the barbecue soon enough? Hmm, I'm getting hungry. |
